Our algorithm continues to adapt as the market changes.In 2016, ANZ acquired REALas so we can continue in our pursuit to provide the most accurate predictions in the Australian property market, and supports us in the work we do from afar.REALas will continue to keep it real for property buyers so they don’t waste their time out there.
